* 28 days annual leave
* Clear progression routes, with internal promotion wherever possible
* Extensive training and CPD, helping you grow your career
* Time back for meetings, training or events held outside nursery hours
We offer a competitive salary based on qualifications and experience, alongside a supportive, friendly team environment.
